Texas Tidbits and more

Exciting day for me as a writer!  Last year I submitted three pieces of my writing to a writers group to be part of their Anthology.  I was pleased to find out that all three pieces were accepted and have been waiting for the actual book to be published.  Today I held it in my hands!  It was an amazing feeling to know that others will now hold my words in their hands and hopefully want to read more.

I now need to focus and finish my manuscript for the book after which this blog was titled.  Save the Butter Tubs is in the works but needs to be wrapped up in the next month or so!  I look forward to sharing my grandmother with all of you through her words in the finished piece!

If you found this blog because you own a copy of Texas Tidbits and you are interested in "Saving the Postcards," please start by sending one to Save the Postcards, PO Box 1276, Chandler, TX 75758.  Let me know your thoughts on Texas Tidbits and how you acquired a copy.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Off to write....on purpose, Brenda

In case you need more than one...

These are fun little books filled with postcards.  

Thought this was interesting and wouldn't mind getting some of these....this was from an old blog I came across.  Someone sent a postcard that they found.  Have any interesting old postcards around?  Send them in!

Save the Postcards

Recently, I heard on the radio that postcards would "soon be gone entirely."  I was crushed!  I love postcards.  I love the pretty pictures. Most of all I love the history that is captured in a simple card. 

I am launching a project to Save the Postcards!  To participate start by sending me a postcard.(Then send one to a friend or two just to say hi!) 

September's theme: Your hometown (either where you live now or where you are from) and what is special about it! Check back here to see if yours is posted! 

 I will send out postcards (provided you include your return address) to the person who: 

-sends the first one

-best postcard

-most touching

-honorable mention

I just received these from my mom while she was in...well...read the card...

These are on their way to a friend, my grandma and my mom.
